When I go to New York to meet publishing types, I always try and connect with Jonathan Karp. His title is Senior Vice President, Editor-in-Chief, Random House. He has acquired and edited some really good books. Seabiscuit was one of his books. Jon doesnt do a lot of business books but he sent me his latest title called Lucky or Smart? by Bo Peabody? I am just a few pages into it but the Table of Contents is such fun, I thought I would share it before I actually finished the book and write a Jack Covert Selects review on the book.BTW, the book is being published in January and is 58 pages long and just loaded with fun, valuable information--real "rubber meets the road" stuff.1 Lucky or Smart2 Entrepreneurs are Born, not Made3 Entrepreneurs are B-Students, Managers are A-Students4 Great is the Enemy of Good5 Start-Ups Attract Sociopaths6 Practice Blind Faith7 Learnt to Love the Word No8 Prepare to be Powerless9 The Best Defense is a Gracious Offense10 Dont Believe Your own Press, In Fact, Dont Read it11 Always be Selling Your Stock12 Know What Your Dont Know
